The introduction of VAT in the GCC from January 2018 will be a significant change for businesses operating in the region. Crowe’s team of local specialists are coming to the UK to run this seminar. They will guide you through the rules that are to be implemented, explaining what is known now given that some of the countries have issued their legislation/guidance, along with the developments which are expected in the near future.
